The Snyder Industries 10,500 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a large-capacity vertical storage tank molded in natural white crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE). Its wall is designed to the ASTM D1998 1.35 specific-gravity standard and rated by the manufacturer to handle contents up to 1.4 SG, so it carries dense fluids that a standard linear-polyethylene tank cannot. Standing 179 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch footprint, it holds 10,500 gallons for bulk water, fire-reserve, and industrial storage service. The crosslinked wall gives you a stiffer, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant shell, which matters at this volume where hydrostatic head at the base is significant.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 87,570 lb of contents; loaded to its 1.4 SG rating it holds up to 122,598 lb. Plan your foundation around that load — a level, engineered concrete pad sized for the full 143 x 143 inch footprint and the loaded weight is not optional at this capacity. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm capacity against draw-down needs, and for pad design see our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks under the ACI 360R-10 framework. If you are storing dense contents near the 1.4 SG limit, the freeboard and thermal-expansion math in our Snyder freeboard sizing guide tells you the real usable volume. This is also a strong candidate for a rural or remote fire-water reservoir — walk through the sizing discipline in our fire-water reservoir tank design guide, and for grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation see our industrial water-reuse tank topology guide.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, this vertical storage tank is configured with a flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access for interior inspection and maintenance. Confirm your inlet, outlet, and vent routing against the drawing before you set the tank, since these are large fittings that dictate your plumbing and platform layout. Verify the flange gasket, bolt-kit material, and manway seal against your service fluid and temperature before install — check those details on the drawing rather than assuming a default.
Freight and ordering
This Snyder white vertical storage tank is built in California and ships by LTL freight from the Chowchilla, CA plant. At 179 inches tall on a 143 x 143 inch footprint, it is a dedicated freight movement — confirm your site access, door or gate clearance, and offload equipment before you book. Freight is quoted live to your delivery ZIP rather than priced into the list, so get your number with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 to arrange delivery and confirm offloading requirements for a tank of this height and weight.
